The moon of fifteen is sixteen round, and there is a bright moon hanging in the night sky tonight, illuminating the Loujiang River exceptionally brightly, Xu Zizhen and He Liangliang crouched in the grass on the shore, waiting for the appearance of the target.

There is a long thin rope in front of Xu Zizhen, faintly shining with some black dark light, this is his homemade fuse, sandwiched with gunpowder mixed with lamp oil, so as not to wet the river, the other end of the rope leads to the river, unless you look at it specially, you will never see dozens of gourds floating on the river.

These gourds are his self-made soil mines, gunpowder is loaded into it, tamped, buried with a fuse, and then poured with a piece of loess, so that half of the space can be reserved to come out, so that the gourd can be half floating on the water, the gourd mouth is the place where the fuze comes out, dozens of gourds are connected by a general fuse, as long as Xu Zizhen's head is a little fire, these gourds will explode together in a very short time.

Xu Zizhen didn't learn to blast, but when he was a child, he naughtily dismantled the firecrackers and made his own "soil bomb" to play, and the length of the fuse and the time of the explosion were also carefully calculated, which looked more and more magical in He Liangliang's eyes, because he had never seen the Arabic numerals that Xu Zizhen drew on the paper, and he didn't know what these ghostly things meant.

He Liangliang waited a little impatiently, and couldn't help but ask again: "Big brother, can these gourds really be fried?" ”

Xu Zizhen didn't know the bottom of his heart, and hesitated: "I can probably blow it up, but I can't wait until I go over and order it myself." ”

Today it is said that Xu Zizhen is alone, but he is also in pairs, and the father and daughter of the Li family, they don't understand water, so they can only lie on the shore and guard, Xu Zizhen's plan is to wait for the ship to arrive and detonate the mine first, and then the boat will inevitably be forced to stop, if the hull breaks into the water, it will definitely dock, that is the time for them to shoot, you must know that although Li Sheng is not a master, but a big knife is also quite powerful, very a battlefield general.

Liuli had already found a former subordinate of Hua Ye to report the news quickly, the ship was ready to set sail, Xu Zizhen was ready, his eyes were staring at the river, gritting his teeth and scolding: "Hu Sihai, Wang Huang old thief, you all give Lao Tzu his life!" ”

The bright moon gradually rose to the middle of the night sky, the river wind blew the reeds on the shore rattled, about the time of the child, Xu Zizhen finally saw a flat-bottomed merchant ship in the distance by the power of the northwest wind to break through the Lang, the bow of the ship planted a flag, hunting in the night wind, stretching to reveal the three big characters of Changxing Ji written on it.

"It's coming!" Xu Zizhen was in high spirits, threw off the clothes on his body, left only a pair of calf nose shorts naked, and pinned a steel knife to his waist, waiting for the ship to approach.

Soon the ship entered his blasting range, and Xu Zizhen shouted in a low voice: "Two by two, ignition!" ”

He Liangliang had already prepared a fire medium in his hands, and when he opened the lid, a flame lit up, and when he got close to the fuse, he burned it, and suddenly a dazzling fire came out, accompanied by the pungent smoke, and quickly spread into the river.

Rumble!

An earth-shattering explosion sounded suddenly, and the calm river surface was splashed several meters high by the force of the explosion, and the explosion point was impartial at the bow of the ship, and from a distance, I saw that the bow of the ship seemed to be lifted by someone at the bottom of the boat, and then fell back into the water, and then it slapped many Lang flowers again, and the whole ship was soaked.

Xu Zizhen took a deep breath, half-squatted and jumped forward, jumped into the river like a sharp arrow with the power of the forward rush, drew a beautiful arc, and jumped into the water with a snort.

The boat was already in chaos, and Xu Zizhen could hear a voice yelling angrily from a distance: "What happened? Why don't you go down and check it out? ”

This voice is too familiar to Xu Zizhen, even if it is burned to ashes, he can recognize it, it is Hu Sihai.

Xu Zizhen secretly sneered, sped up and swam towards the side of the boat, but he knew very well how tall Hu Sihai was, so he chose to swim to the stern, and the people on the boat gathered at the bow to look out, but they all ignored the stern, so he climbed onto the boat without any risk and was not discovered.

There was a mess on the deck, and the sudden explosion had cracked the cabin in many places, and the river that had poured into it made the ship wet, but the hull did not seem to be affected much, and there was no leakage.

Xu Zizhen glanced at He Liangliang, who was following closely behind him, and asked him to search for the robbed woman in the cabin first, while he picked a few gourds and hung them on his waist, and slowly moved forward through the bunkers on the ship.

"One, two, three...... Five! Xu Zizhen hid in the dark and counted, in addition to Hu Sihai on the deck, there were five other men dressed in strong clothes, looking at their outfits and knives in their hands, they were obviously in the same group as the twelve who were caught by him before, these people looked at the river and the shore on the boat, looking for targets to attack them, and Hu Sihai looked coldly with his hands on his chest, calm and not panicked.

The surface of the river has returned to calm, those gourds have become shattered after the explosion, leaving no big debris, and the shore is also clear and quiet, it is impossible to see if there is anyone hiding, those people looked around for a long time, came back to the deck, and said: "Brother Hu, there is no one in the river, and the shore is too." ”

Hu Sihai frowned slightly: "Could it be a water bandit?" But Taihu Lake Water Village has long been under the surveillance of Master Kong, and it is impossible for any fish to sneak here, and it is even more impossible for Xu Zizhen's thief to ......"

Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the darkness: "Ha Lu Ha! Haven't you heard a phrase? Anything is possible! ”

Hu Sihai's face changed greatly, and with a flip of his wrist, he pulled out the steel knife, and shouted: "What person? ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a black whirring thing flying from afar, extremely fast and sparkling, which was extremely dazzling in the night.

Hu Sihai subconsciously fell into a daze, and quickly retreated in shock, although the five men were also startled, they didn't have time to react, and watched the thing fly to the front and land on the deck, only then did they see that it was a gourd with smoke and fire.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the gourd suddenly exploded, and the dazzling fire stabbed several people to the point that they couldn't open their eyes at all, and then several people let out a scream in unison.

"Ahh

Xu Zizhen overestimated the gunpowder of this era, according to his imagination, he thought that he could sink this ship and kill and blow up a few people, but the result made him very disappointed, the power of this gunpowder only blew out a small hole in the deck, and a large area of charred black, and the screams of those people were only inserted in the face by gourd fragments because they couldn't dodge.

Hu Sihai dodged in the moment before the explosion, he glanced at the deck in shock, only to see that the five people were already rolling in pain with blood on their faces, but none of them died.

"Xu Zizhen!" He called out the name almost through gritted teeth, and turned his head to look behind him.

A figure stood quietly on the deck under the moonlight, naked and barefoot, holding a snowy steel knife in his hand, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, it was Xu Zizhen who had escaped from his hands several times.
